I will never use that. Grid format or die.
He's just a mobster. Weak as baby pucky. When the rabid bear's off the back porch, we gonna PARTY, by God.
Great news last week:
“President Sheinbaum signed the presidential decree on April 7, formally creating Mexico’s Universal Health Service, which she described as “a historic step” toward guaranteeing free public healthcare for all Mexicans regardless of which institution they are affiliated with.”

A rocky mountain creek rushes through a narrow forested canyon, its water tinted yellow-orange as it cascades over rust-colored stones beneath evergreens and patches of autumn foliage.
Ochre stream running

I have 2.22 GB of @bsky.app data cached on my iPhone 15 ProMax. Apparently the app stores *everything*... Google's AI sez do one of these. They each require downloading and re-installing the app. I've never tried it but I might.

Oh for sure. I could have used it in Abilene, too. Once at my high school, some FFA boys loaded my Isetta into the back of a pickup truck as a joke. It was backed up against a rather high curbed sidewalk, so I was able to lower the tailgate and drove it out. Probably how they got it in there!
My late wife would have loved it. She was an organist as well as a classical pianist. On her sabbatical in Leipzig we visited the Mendelssohn-Haus & attended concerts at Bach's churches (Thomaskirche & Nikolaikirche). Kathy was so overcome to be at the latter that she broke down & cried...

Amazing composition!
More than a million German renters are generating their own clean electricity — not with rooftop solar, but with two panels plugged into a regular wall outlet on their balcony. No electrician. No permits. No landlord permission required.

Yeah, might be fake, or an art project. I bet the .50 cal machine gun is heavy and would destabilize the car.

Only in New Mexico! A man can dream, right? I'll plant around the bones. Just grabbed these elk and something-something pieces from the neighborhood repository. Still pretty gamy, so monsters may carry them off. What a life.

The theme is #Edge.
Volcano, plateau, bones, death. New Mexico *is* the freaking edge of everything you thought you knew and why I'm here.
You got the surname, brother. They oughta ask you nicely to come on over!
Listen on something other than a goddamn phone 🙄
Yes! I saw lots of them in Deutschland as an Air Force brat lad from '54-58. The Isetta however has FOUR wheels. The rear two share a common drive axle (driven by a chain) but very close together to avoid the need for a differential.
Yes, I think so. Just don't turn too sharply! 🤣 Thing only weighed 770 lbs. Ran over a cocker spaniel with a front wheel once, dog jumped up and ran away.
Hookland has a long tradition of winged-dogs known as Feorhunds. Even the stone representations of them have a reputation for unbidden climbing and flying. Some say the nets hung around St. Agatha at Belford Darrow are to counter their proclivities for zooming around its tower.

A '57 BMW Isetta 300 like this was my first car at age 14 ('59) in Abilene, TX. Minus the machine gun, of course. My USAF dad bought it from a guy who'd picked it up cheap from an idiot in Houston who'd amassed a pile of 'em to resell as MOBILE DUCK BLINDS, honest. I painted it red, named it "Fang."
In the late 1800s there were many miles of narrow gauge railroads in the southern Rockies of Colorado and northern New Mexico. You could be homesteading at 8,000 ft and take a STEAM TRAIN to Denver, for example. Order tools, supplies, go pick 'em up. More isolation now than then.

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.
